My name is Dave Taylor, I was born and grew up in the Philippines although both my parents are English. We lived on the edge of an active volcano called Mayon (which means beautiful). It was a flippin amazing place to be apart from when it errupted. let’s just say that.
I spent the first 10 years of my career in London where my love for the web and geekery grew steadily. I had the opportunity to work on some cutting edge projects with forward thinking creative agencies and clients from the likes of The FA and the RFU to The British Red Cross and Premier Inn.
I started Pogo Kid in the summer of 2012 and I now work from my office in Bath.
I’m ever curious, I love the creativity you can have with front-end technology. This is the time to be working with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and I’m living on the razors edge of these 3 fantastic technologies. Needless to say, it’s a lot of fun :o)
